Summary
For this episode I am joined by Amy Thomson, fellow anxiety sufferer and founder of the hugely successful (globally) Moody Month App and Moody, her new book by the same name, that explores how hormones impact our everyday experience. Here we hone in on anxiety in particular, the hormones involved - how it all happens in the body - as well as Amy's personal experience, which led her down this particular career path. We also talk a lot about the impact of our menstrual cycle on anxiety, and so it as an episode particularly relevant to those who experience periods. Enjoy!

| 0:29.1 | Hello, dear listener and welcome once again to owning it the anxiety podcast with me, Caroline Foreign. Today I am joined by the brilliant Amy Thompson, entrepreneur and founder of Moody |
| 0:34.6 | Month, the app, and author of Moody, the book. |
| 0:38.1 | After having experienced crippling anxiety, not unlike myself, as a result of burnout, |
| 0:43.2 | Amy couldn't quite figure out how to get herself back on track until she delved into the |
| 0:47.6 | complex world of hormones and started to understand precisely how they were impacting her. |
| 0:52.7 | Here we talk about her journey and the role that |

| 1:22.3 | absolutely. And thank you so much for having me. I obviously completely biasedly agree. And it's also really exciting to talk about it |
| 1:29.9 | in the context of anxiety as well, because I think from a personal experience point of view, |
| 1:34.1 | and also just broadly, one of the areas that also is incredibly misunderstood, I think. |
